Incumbent retains HEA seat

At the Homer Electric Association Inc., annual meeting held earlier this summer, Mike Pate was re-elected to the HEA board District 3 seat, which covers the area from Ninilchick to Homer. Pate beat out challenger Doug Stark by more than 100 votes.

Hugh Chumley won the seat for District 2, covering Sterling and Soldotna, and Ruth Fitzpatrick won the District 1 seat representing the Kenai area.
